CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES


6 medium potatoes, diced
2 tbs melted butter (for bread crumb topping)
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Cheesy White Sauce:

2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup diced Velveeta cheese or shredded cheddar cheese

Dice potatoes, and boil until tender.   Meanwhile make the cheesy white sauce by melting 2 tbs butter in a medium saucepan.  Whisk in flour, salt and pepper.  Slowly whisk in milk a little at a time.  Boil for about 2 minutes or until thickened.  Reduce heat and add cheese.  Stir until cheese is melted completely.  Place cooked potatoes in a baking dish, and pour cheese sauce over them.   Melt 2 tbs butter and add bread crumbs.  Sprinkle over potatoes.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until bread crumbs are browned.
